Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This issue focuses on Si and compound-based high power density solar cells and PV modules and their applications. The fabrication process, machine control, and power performance evaluation of Bifacial, Half-cut, and Gapless cells and modules with classical boron to Ga doped bigger size of substrates would be highly recommended for the topics. It includes their unique processes for higher efficiency and quality control to guarantee long lifetimes. Power performance of BIPVs, BAPVs, Floating and Marine PVs would be examples of extensions of the issue. Applications would also cover micro roof-top to large scale of PVs connected with other renewable energy resources such as ESS, wind power and/or fuel cell. Special focuses would be on failure analysis, reliability, and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operation) for a durable convergence power system under the demand response control to achieve RE100 energy network within a limited time for a sustainable earth.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Due to the penetration of renewable energy sources increasing in South Korea, problems related to system reliability have been emerging. Thus, localized control methods have also been gaining attention as one of the measures. However, due to the AOs (asset owners) lacking management experience of coordinating resources between the BESS (battery energy storage system) and the renewable device, there have been multiple issues related to damages caused by fire. Thus, the governmental reliability committee in South Korea has recently mandated an order adding reliability constraints to the SoC (state of charge) management and incentives for the AOs to follow the reliability constraints as specified, despite concerns from the AOs that the order possibly reduces their revenues. Thus, this study provides a structured analysis, for the first time, on how the incentive and the reliability constraints influence and interact with each other in coordinated operating schemes between BESSs and renewables as integrated scheduling systems. In the base case, the current scheduling method was applied. In case 1, profit maximization was introduced to confirm the effectiveness of the structured operation. In case 2, a reliability constraint was added, and a reliability constraint with incentives was added in case 3 to confirm the effects thereafter on the revenue streams. Full article
